  • Purple Wraath vs. Xtend

    I'm sure this has been discussed, and I'm too lazy to go read a bunch of old threads.

    Whats the differences, the pro's/con's, the goods on each. And what will each do for me that the other wont, etc..etc..

    I'm getting one or the other, and I want to be as educated as I can before I go ahead with it.

    Discover the "Holy Grail" of bodybuilding and athletic performance enhancement: maximizing lean gains and fat loss while enhancing recovery and increasing strength, endurance, and energy.

    Sound too good to be true? Keep reading...

    We all know that supplements are not a replacement for nutrition and training, but if you are looking for a supplement to enhance every part of your workout and take your gains to the next level... look no further than Purple Wraath™ by Controlled Labs.

    PurplEAA Complex™:

    The Purple Wraath™ PurplEAA Complex™ is a very efficient formula based on the science of actual homo sapiens muscle protein and clinical studies on human amino acid assimilation. Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are the "building blocks" of lean muscle mass, but the EAA's from whey protein can take hours to enter circulation. The solution is the Purple Wraath™ fast-acting, free-form PurplEAA Complex™:

    While essential amino acids function cohesively as a group to aid in your training, additionally they each produce a significant benefit when it comes training:

    Leucine:
    - Primary anabolic trigger
    - Enhance recovery
    - Optimize hormone levels

    Valine:
    - Energy
    - Recovery
    - Glucose production
    - Nitrogen balance
    - Anti-inflammatory
    - Analgesic

    Isoleucine:
    - Energy
    - Recovery
    - Glucose production
    - Hormones

    Lysine:
    - Beta-oxidation
    - Nitrogen balance
    - Calcium absorption
    - Energy

    Arginine:
    - Vasodilator
    - Nutrient delivery
    - Anti-Catabolic

    Histidine:
    - Vasodilator
    - Sexual function

    Threonine:
    - Nutrient uptake
    - Immune system

    Methionine:
    - Enhance metabolism
    - Energy
    - Mood
    - Antioxidant

    Phenylalanine:
    - Energy
    - Hormones
    - Mood

    It's important to understand that our EAA Complex includes all of the BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) that you have used in the past, including a precise ratio of leucine. Research shows that blood levels of these KEY amino acids are directly related to muscle protein synthesis, so we formulated a comprehensive and efficient matrix to enhance lean mass directly and indirectly, and under various conditions. Now, that ratio is important, but there are some other very exciting points about this formula. Unlike some of the amino acid supplements on the market, you aren't paying for cheap "filler" ingredients such as dextrose or maltodextrin when you purchase Purple Wraath™. Also, we chose not to include the amino acid glutamine since it is not an essential amino acid, and our bodies can synthesize it on its own in sufficient quantities. Because the studies that we based this formula off of do not use tryptophan and since it has the potential for "sedative" like side affects, we designed Purple Wraath™ to be completely tryptophan-free.

    By combining intense exercise or weightlifting with the fast absorbing PurplEAA Complex™ you can rush nutrients into the active cells of your working muscles, creating an anabolic environment optimal for recovery and lean mass.

    What would an EAA product be without some amazing support ingredients? Good, but not great. To make this formula great we added the PurplEndurance Complex™.

    PurplEndurance Complex™:

    You can't create an optimal anabolic environment without intensity so Controlled Labs decided to take things to the extreme with Purple Wraath™ by including the ultimate caffeine-free Ergogenic Complex:

    So what does each of the ingredients in the PurplEndurance Complex™ do?

    Beta-Alanine:
    - Helps increase aerobic efficiency
    - Helps enhance oxygen transport
    - Helps to reduce lactic acid accumulation

    Citrulline Malate:
    - Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia
    - Boosts energy production
    - Has an oxygen sparing effect
    - Boosts mitochondrial function

    Betaine Anhydrous:
    - Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
    - Enhances muscle fullness
    - Acts as an energy enzyme protector
    - Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
    - Elevates glutathione levels
    - Promotes liver health
    - Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
    - Enhances metabolism

    Ginger:
    - Aids in nutrient absorption
    - Enhances digestion/stomach function
    - Produces a nootropic effect

    Norvaline:
    - Helps elevate naturally occurring eNOS

    As you can see, we have responded to customer demand and the result: Purple Wraath™...the most advanced pre-workout product available!!

    Key Attributes:
    - Fast absorption/fast acting
    - EAA & BCAA
    - Caffeine-free ergogenic formula
    - Delicious tangy grape flavor
    - Natural anabolic environment
    - Increase athletic performance, endurance, focus, stamina, and muscle recovery
    - Legal, safe, and effective for both men and women
    - Stimulate metabolism to reduce body fat
    - Explosive strength, power, and energy
    - Increase or maintain muscle mass whether cutting or bulking
    - Dextrose/maltodextrin free

    They are both great products, and I believe them together is awesome. However, if I were to only pick one, it would be the Purple Wraath. Controlled Labs Purple Wraath is one of if not the best supplement I have ever used. My workouts were longer, and stronger. Also my recovery was unbelievable.

    -This is just my opinion, I hope the information helped some. Good luck bro.

      in laymans terms i would say this
      [correct me if im wrong]
      EAA - better for muscle endurance/growth

      BCAA - better for muscle recovery/prevent catabolism

      I believe BCAA better during workout, while EAA better pre/post

      if you can afford, the more of either = the better, tho im sure there is a point where excess = waste

        Cool! I'm too lazy to answer. lol

        I've only used Xtend so far and it's great!

        PW has the same stuff as Xtend plus more. Go for PW if you want more I'd say.

            it will be good if you want a straight EAA product. many of the purple wraath benefits come from the "extras" in it.

                    If on a budget, you can always start by adding leucine to your shakes and go from there... both WRAATH and XTEND are the "icing on the cake" type supplements.

                      Well Purple Wrath has the BEST of BOTH worlds with the BCAAs as well as the EAAs.

                      Now if they would make maybe a Red Wrath which tasted like Ketchup THAT would be a winner.

                        I'm wondering how Xtend supporters hyped the taste so much. Sure, it tastes good compared to bulk BCAA's... but it still tastes bad, in general. I finally thought I might have an amino product to look forward to taking and was dissapointed with all the hype. I'm going back to Animal Nitro G... best tasting amino supplement, ever.
